The Clane Residents Association hosted a fantastic Easter event over the weekend, and it was a huge success!
They organised a wonderful Easter egg hunt for the children in the estate, making sure every child received an Easter egg. With music playing and plenty of games, there was a brilliant atmosphere and a great day was had by all.
It’s fantastic to see the residents’ group taking the initiative to organise such a positive community event and bring everyone together. A big well done to all involved!

TORC Marchathon Challenge
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Congratulations to everyone who took part in this year’s Marchathon! The level of participation was truly fantastic, and we commend each and every one of you who embraced the challenge and got out walking throughout March.
The competition was incredibly close, with two schemes going head-to-head right to the finish. In the end, Clane secured the top spot, with Skibbereen finishing a close second. A special well done also to Macroom in Cork and Clairin in Galway, who delivered impressive step counts and showed great consistency week after week.
As this year’s step challenge was such a great success, we are delighted to be bringing it back again next year and hope to see even more neighbours getting involved.
Thank you once again to everyone who participated, and well done for stepping up for your community!

TORC Annual Unit inspections 2026
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each year, TORC carries out an annual inspection on each of our 465 properties to ensure that we provide safe, efficient, durable, comfortable and sustainable homes for our tenants. The 2026 house inspections begin next month in April and all schemes will be completed by August. Some important information to remember:
- TORC will give a minimum of 2 weeks’ notice by letter to let you know the date and time-frame of your inspection.
- If you are not going to be home or need a specific time for an appointment, please let us know in advance of your inspection.
- HSCOs understand your home is where you live, we do not expect to walk into showrooms.
- During the inspection a members of TORC staff may take pictures – these are used as a visual record of the condition of the property over the lifecycle of your home. They are also used to assist with logging any repairs.
- Where a person is under 18 and is at home alone, we cannot complete an inspection without your previous permission/consent.
